                 CANCER PREVENTIVE DIET

The biggest troublemakers in medical world are Incurable diseases and one of the disorders that really get on nerves of the sufferer and the treating Doctor is Cancer. Why is that, the rate of cancer so increasing in today’s time? Why is that, there are no references of cancer in the Ancient times? Our scriptures are bereft of any incidences of death related to cancer. So that means they have the means by which they could prevent such incurable nuisance.

What do we actual mean by cancer?

Our whole existence is based on the procedure of cell division. One cell divides into two, two into four and so on, and various organs of the body are formed and slowly the whole being is formed. These divisions are controlled by God based timer, but when this timer blow away leading to unbridled divisions of cell it leads to an unwanted growth inside our body which we call CANCER.

Another question arises that what cause cancer?

Since, till now there is no specific aetiology to demark the reasons for cancer, but our Vedic knowledge gives us few tips to live a healthy life and prevent the life style disorders such as Diabetes mellitus 2, Hypertension {high blood pressure}, IBS {irritable bowel syndrome}, hyperuremia {high level of uric acid in blood}, high level of cholesterol and triglycerides, etc,etc. The main reason why these diseases make inroads in our system is because our so called modern diet, which cause many fold increase of production of insulin in our body. And this hyper insulin in our body is one of the predisposing causes for the cancer cell to make its niche here.

What are our best options?

So the best prevention is to lower insulin diet which is always the fibrous and vegetarian diet. The non vegetarian diet and fermented drinks like alcohol are the en route for increase insulin level in the blood. Our Vedic knowledge help us to prevent such diseases, here are our best options:

CHANDYOG UPNISHIDA

Chandyog Upanishida gives us the escape route to prevent such ungodly nuisance in our body. Fasts in Indian culture are not just only to make us accustomed to the process of renunciation but at same time work on the principle of detoxification of the body which, now-a-days are the principal bases of the treatment of Health Management Advisers. Here is it what it says:

  

One day fasting should be observed in a week in which the diet should be milk and fruits. This detoxifies the body.

Fast of Ekadashi should be observed twice in a month, Nirjala Ekadashi {Ekadashi in which water is prohibited to drink} which comes before Poornima {Full Moon Night} should be kept as during Poornima body have the tendency for water retention, which could be balanced by observing Nirjala Ekadashi couple of days before Poornima. Especially beneficial for people suffering from Obesity, Dysmenorrhoea {Painful menstruation}, hypothyroid, PCOD {Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease}

Eighteen days of fasting of grains to be observed in whole year, hence we have Navratra coming twice in a year. Especially for diabetic and heart patients

BHAGVAD GITA

Principles of food hygiene are explicitly elaborated in Bhagvad Gita. Since our religious scriptures say apart from human only food have consciousness {vegetarian food} which remains in it for few hours, once the process of putrification starts the consciousness leave the food and this food when taken rather than providing any advantage to our body hampers our body cells. Here is the extract and its elucidation from Bhagvad Gita, where lord himself enlighten us.

Bhagvad gita- Shloka 17.8

Food dear to those in mode of goodness increase the duration of life, purify one’s existence and give strength, health, happiness and satisfaction. Such food are juicy, fatty, wholesome {rich in fibres} and pleasing to heart.

Bhagvad gita- Shloka 17.9

Food that are too bitter, too sour, salty, hot, pungent, dry and burning are dear to those in mode of passion. Such food causes distress, misery and disease.

Bhagvad gita- Shloka 17.10

Food prepared more than three hours before being eaten, food that is tasteless, decomposed and putrid and food consisting of remnants and untouchable things is dear to those in mode of darkness.

PURPORT {by Srila Prabhupad}

The purpose of food is to increase the duration of life, purify mind and aid body strength. This is its only purpose. In past, great authorities selected those foods that best aid health and increase life duration, such as milk products, sugar, rice, wheat, fruits and vegetables. These foods are very dear to those in mode of goodness {satvik}.

Some other foods, such as baked corn and molasses, while not very pat able in them; can be made pleasant when mixed with milk or other food. All these foods are pure by nature. Fatty food as mentioned in eighth verse has no connection with animal fat obtained by animal slaughter. Animal fat is available from milk which is most wonderful of all foods.

Milk, butter, cheese and similar products give animal fat in a form which rules out any need for killing innocent creatures.

Protein is amply available through split, peas, dals, whole wheat, etc.

Food in mode of passion {rajasi} which are bitter, too salty or too hot or overly mixed with red pepper cause misery by reducing mucus in stomach, leading to disease.

Foods in mode of ignorance or darkness {tamsik} are essentially those that are not fresh. Any food cooked more than three hours before it is eaten is considered to be in mode of darkness. Because they are putrefied {like liquor}, such food give bad odour which often attract people in this mode and repulses those in mode of goodness.

MORAL

Think  before  you  eat.   

THE GREEN EYE MONSTER

              THE GREEN EYE MONSTER

“We are humans!” is the excuse we give when we are caught red handed doing something wrong. We have all the vice of the world and we are the only species to have conscientiousness of virtues but still we all say we are humans. Wisdom tells “as we sow, that shall we reap” and for all the moments of our God given life we forget, the only enlightenment coming when we are in big hell of abyss or at dawn of our life. very few of us get chance to rectify, most of us again repeat same mistake again and rest of us don’t even get chance, but at the end of the day we still say “we are humans”.

THE DAYS OF TOGETHERNESS

She was a budding dietician and with grace of god her practice was good. Once upon a time she had this patient with removed gall bladder and ten kg overweight. She helped her up losing weight and after months and months of hard work finally reaped results and she lost that extra weight. Her slimmer look got her lots of compliment and finally one day she thought that if that lady can work wonders for her, she should try to learn the science herself and start with her own business of dietics. She thought it was a child play.

The lady got herself enrolled in the one of the dietics course. Entering the course she thought herself as the one with the whole knowledge and the course was just a formality, she started to consider herself as the doctor. Now the basic need was to have some tinge of acquaintance of patient dealing so she revert back to her Doctor and humbly requested to learn from her.

TRUE REVELATION

It is only when you spend time with someone that you know about his true temperament. No one can mask themselves for very long, their true colors are revealed one day and same was the case scenario with our protagonist. As she sat with her doctor learning from her, she couldn’t bear the crowd coming to her. The green eye monster of jealousy overwhelmed her consciousness and she started interrupting, correcting her mentor, proving herself more talented than her in front of her clientele.

The Doctor ignored it first but then she started to get irritated and finally one day, the Doctor made a reason that since the privacy of her patient is compromised and since few patients have objected, she couldn’t allow her anymore. The lady gave a twisted smile and without thanking her for all the knowledge bestowed by her, she walked away, confident enough that she would strike the gold.

REALITY CHECK

Within a month into the practice she realized it was not at all child’s play. There were rarely any patients marching her doors, all she had the free advice takers. She was frustrated at first and then sadness came and finally the feeling of worthlessness. She tried various ways to endorse herself, holding campaigns, designing a website, giving free advices in the kitty parties, wedding ceremony, printing advertising pamphlets and telling boisterous stories of her imaginary success.

When one of many would ever get convinced of her orchestrated words and pay her visit, she wasn’t able to deliver results. It was just all words and no show affair for her and finally one day our confident lady dropped the idea of becoming a doctor and went back to her plaintiff life style.

Jealousy paved her way straight to self worthlessness.

The other doctor, on the other hand, rose to unimaginable fame.

To be humble, is the first step to the ladder of success.

48 MINUTES OF DEATH

              48 MINUTES OF DEATH

What’s a difference between a living body and the dead body, they almost weigh same?  What is death? How it happens and what the person suffer at time of dying? How much time it takes for a person for the completion of whole process of death?

VEDIC SCIENCE

“Chandhog Upnishada” answers these questions. It gives the detail about the process of dying.

The whole process of dying takes about forty eight minutes.

Here is precise detail of it how it happens.....

The process of death start with shutting down of five karma indriyas {organs of actions} also called “vak”.  The five “Karma Indriyas” are as follows:

Organ for elimination – anus

Organ for procreation – genitalia

Organ of motion – legs                                

Organs of grasping – hands

Organs for speech – voice.

So, once the “vak” shut down, the procedure of failure of “Gyan Indriys” {sensory organs} is initiated.

The person start to lose the power to see, hear, taste, smell and touch.

Then starts the failure of “manas”.

 Manas comprise of mind, intellect, memory and ego.  The dying person will be confused, won’t be able to solve simple mathematical questions {for example two plus three}, would have a weak memory or total loss of it and there would be absolute lack of ego, the vocabulary “me” and “I” would disappear.

And finally comes the failure of “Pran” {the life force}, which in the presence of “Tejas” {heat} leaves the body rendering it lifeless.

This is the forty eight minutes of process of death. It is the total reverse of the procedure of beginning of life. The process of life starts with the presence of pran, followed by development of manas, the gyan indriya and finally the vak.

BRAIN DEATH

Again when all the sciences of the world are silent about the brain death, Vedic science has its explanation.

Brain dead person means that person who loses whole control of his brain stem reflexes and at same time the rest of the organ function continues. A state of deep comatose where partial part of the body is dead and partial is working. How can the living force be partial to different parts of body?

Well here lies the answer to this enigma:

The functions of the body are controlled by five “Vayus”.

Pran Vayu – it controls the brain stem reflexes

Apan Vayu – it controls elimination process like passing of stool, urine, menstruation in females.

Saman Vayu – it controls the gastro- intestinal tract functions

Vyan Vayu – it controls the circulation

Udan Vayu – it controls our connection with God, once this connection is lost the body becomes nothing but the vegetable.

At the time of death the pran vayu connects with the udan vayu combines together and leave the body with tejus. The rest three vayus work independently, hence a brain dead organs can be kept working for long long time.

MORAL

All that you gain throughout your life is lost with one blow of death. Hence Vedas caution us to live wisely.
